Amherst Garden club, number- nag about 40, heard Laddie Mit-iska speak Monday night on the subject "Evergreens and shrubs, their selection care and pruning." The open meeting of the club was held at Powers school. Mitiska told his audience that ornamental planting around new homes has changed decidedly in the last few years, due to the change of architecture in houses being built. Planting ( conforms to the plan of the house and in most cases should be of low growing shrubs in keeping with the lines of the ranch type homes. In his requisites of good planting Mitiska emphasised simplicity and suggested the use of fewer varieties of shrubs or evergreens. He said that people should consider the size of the shrubs on maturity before purchasing them and informed his listeners that it is better to buy a few larger plants than to buy a greater number of younger, smaller ones. Good planting should be attractive the year around and color from leaves, flowers or berries of shrubs used in connection with the green of evergreens is desirable. Spring bulbs and summer annuals planted between evergreens will also give color throughout the summer months. Ease of maintenance and susceptibility to insects and disease should be considered in the choice of shrubbery. Fall is the best time to plant shrubs with early spring the next best time. At these times the plants are dormant but the roots will grow, getting a good start before hot weather affects them. Mitiska stated that when plants are set in the fall they should Council Okays Charter Form on Second Reading Second reading jf the resolution to put the question oE framing a charter before Amherst voters, was given by village solicitor David Goldthorpe, when the Amherst Council met Tuesday of this week.

Manufacturer's directions should be followed carefully at all times when using insecticides. Trimming plants should be done often and at any time but it is better to trim in small a-mounts frequently rather than in larger amounts at intervals. If large amounts of trimming are needed it should in most instances be done in the late fall or early spring. With shrubs that bloom very early in the spring, pruning should be done immediately after the blooming period. Mitiska named shrubs that are being more widely used now for both large and small lots which bring color into the yard, garden or house planting. In the larger plants he mentioned flowering crabs, peach and plum as well as forsythia, redbud and dogwood. In the smaller plants blue mist, red barberry, fire-thorri, blueberries and floribunda roses were suggested. Mrs. Marion Brandon told members and guests how to plant bulbs in pots for early spring blooming. During a brief business-meeting it was announced that the Christmas dinner party of the group would be held at St. Joseph's school hall.

The recent warning by President Eisenhower to "Rush atomic defense" gives authenticity to the need for complete coverage of all posts, Zsoldos said. Amhrst's skywatch is a link between "two larger posts, but is nonetheless important. Skywatches may be individuals or groups of individuals church societies, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, civic organizations, or community service clubs. They can. be scheduled for two-or tour-hour periods, - ,day or night. Several high school Hi-Y bovs and a few private citizens have offered their services, but a complete coverage is essential in order for the program to be effective, Zsoldos pointed out. Anyone having a minimum of two hours a week to spend for the defense program is urged to attend next Monday's meeting or call Zsoldos at 5941 to register.Grass Fires Keep Department Busy Am ther warning on the danger of fira was issued this week by Fire Chief Charles Edwards, following a series of grass fires in and around Amherst the past week. Most serious blaze was that at Mill Hollow Tuesday, which burned for several hours before fceir.g extinguished. It was started from a brush fire started by Charles Bacon, who "thought"1 the fire was out when he left. By the time firemen .were called "if had' gained considerable headway and came very close to the Russell Sick home as well as the buildinngs cn the Bacon property. Five fire trucks were on hand in addition to numerous water tank trucks. Firemen wera hampered because of the difficulty in reaching the blaze with the hose. No figure was set' for damages, as it was confined mostly to trees, fences and posts. Other calls were made Tuesday to the Raymond Bechtel Jr., residence, also in Brownhelm township, a s.rass fire on Jackson St., and a rubbish fire on Park Ave. A second call was made to the Bechtel home later in the afternoon. On Wednesday afternoon, a call was made to put out another rubbish fire on Leavitt Rd. close to the Booty Young Plumbing shr.i). It also gained headway after it was believed to be put out. Edwards emphasized the importance of making absolutely certain that all sparks are extinguished from any fire before being left unguarded. With the dry spell extending much longer than anticipated, even a tiny spark can be the origin of considerable damage, Edwards warned. vmn milt-- h-i to, George Mingle, George Schr-oeder, John Leonard, Ray Kolp. and Eddie Schroeder.
